Regardless of all the Negative Nellie comments I've seen in this thread, I for one, would like to take this opportunity to thank the folks at ATRS for the manner in which they are dealing with this issue, and for the chance to complete my purchase, good job guys, much appreciated,,Brad

I think losing you business, livelihood, and potentially everything you own trumps getting a $500 paperweight. People can be so nearsighted. Yes losing $500 sucks. But I’d rather lose $500 any day than my job or house. You knew you weren’t buying a bike at Walmart when you sent the money. ATRS doesn’t have huge pockets. I still don’t understand why people have this misconception that because you own a business you’re a multi millionaire. Small business owners drive the same car you do, not a rolls Royce.

Are you producing the Sterling Arms Target Rifle, or is it under license? So much mixed information out there but apparently its based on MS? I am so confused

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! J.R. Cox owner of The Shooting Edge and Target Sports copied our MS, sent his copy of our receiver set to the SFSS to get an FRT 16 months ago. ONE month ago he approached me to see if I would license him to produce them. I declined simply as if it going to have my company name on it I want to be in control of the quality and material used.
This is the same J.R. Cox who brought us the prohibition of the Swiss Arms rifles during a dispute with ex business partners.

Thanks for clearing everything up.
So glad to support the trail blazer and not someone hashing together a rip off.

Since you have a lot of billet aluminum already paid for, and presumably a lot of high-end AR parts sitting around, would ATRS consider licensing Spectre Ballistics Light Practical Carbine design, or developing a similar chassis on your own? In case you are unaware, its a upper and lower receiver with a manual action bolt carrier, and other then that uses AR parts. Its similar to some offerings in the UK. Or is it too risky to build anything now that even looks like an AR? I know there was a bolt action shotgun that got added to the FRT.

It’s shocking that such an upstanding businessman would try to rip off another.

Why people still support him is unbelievable. “He apologized so it’s all good”

[DILLIGAF]

Yeah lets turn in our man cards for some stupid bolt action AR.... WTF ?????

In this political climate it would be less risky to open a school for mass shooters to learn how to shoot than to try and create any firearm (sarcasm off)

We have no plans to stop production of our Modern Sporter and are running at full capacity. IF the feds shut us down it will be completely and given how this regime has zero regard for the law I think it would be difficult but not impossible to still manufacture firearms in any worthwhile numbers from within the slammer.
